Jenna is a magna cum laude graduate of Manhattan College earning her Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and Political Science in 2019. She then earned her J.D. from the University of Maine School of Law in 2022, where she was awarded a Pro Bono Service Award for her many hours of service to the local community. While in law school, she worked several legal and non-legal jobs including as a legal intern with Webb Law Firm, where she assisted with misdemeanor and felony criminal cases. Jenna also served as the 2021 Cushman D. Anthony Fellow in the Cumberland Legal Aid Clinic’s Youth Justice Clinic where she represented youth in juvenile and education matters as well as young adults in criminal matters. It was in this role that she found her passion for criminal defense, especially in youth defense which led her to joining the Maine Indigent Defense Center to continue doing this work.
Jenna lives in southern Maine where she never fails to appreciate living on the coast. She loves reading on the beach, kayaking and hiking with her friends. She is a Jersey girl at heart and keeps her roots alive by searching for the best cannolis and bagels (answer = Maples) Maine has to offer.
